Desert Sand Soap using Hanger Swirl Technique

Video Not Working? Fix It Now

We had a wonderful trip to Central Australia recently and I was lucky to bring back some of beautiful, very fine red desert sand. What to do with it? Make soap, of course! I used a hanger swirl technique to make this pattern in the soap. I hope you enjoy the video :) *To buy me a coffee* https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ellyseveryday ♡ Thank you for your support ♡ IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide (lyes) used in soap making, in granular or flake form or in solution with water/other liquids, as well as raw soap batter, are highly corrosive and require careful and attentive handling and the proper use of personal protective equipment.
